let me still ask you.

Are you teaming up with

him to sell Beach Town?

What are you on about?

I'm Choi Dae-ho, sir!

Stop the baldie!

That's it!

Go! Sun-chul!

Pass!

Pass it!

Pass! You fool!

Don't keep the ball to

yourself, but pass the ball!

Pass it!

Go, Mr. Koo!

- Nice!

- Over here!

- Pass!

- Chief Choi!

Pass, pass!

Goal!

Score!

Way to go!

What's a fullback doing out here?

- Goal!

- Sir!

They're a team, alright.

Yes!

You saw Detective Choi.

He plays like Messi!

- You're pretty good yourself.

- Me?

So tall and fit.

Well...

- Do you work out?

- No.

An arm brace in the bath?

I do a little boxing as a hobby.

Boxing? That should come

handy in a real fight!

Judo is the best for fighting. Stupid!

If Chief Choi gets a hold

of them, they're all toast!

Of course, you're right.

Detective Choi is a known fighter.

I'd have no chance.

Jong-jin?

What's that on your arm?

Did something happen?

I have a bad elbow. This

helps with the pain.

Really?

I have a bad arm too. It helps?

Can I try it?

I'll get you one then, sir.

Let me try it on first,

to see whether it works.

What, you can't take it off for me?

It's just I sweat in it all day, sir.

- It's okay. Let's see.

- I'll get you a new one.

I have one at home.

- Wait! That tickles!

- Hold still!

That tickles!

- I'll give you one!

- Wait!

What a beautiful sight! Stop it!

Seriously!

Why are we in the same

tub with him, anyway?

Right!

I'm sorry if I've upset you.

I was so happy to meet you.

And we won the game...

May I treat you all to some drinks?

- Really?

- Let's take a quick shower and go.

Let's go. It's my treat.

- Mr. Koo.

- Yes?

I lived in Kijang my whole life.

Investors come, make money, then leave.

They never once did any good for our town.

You tell him.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but I'm from Kijang, too.

This is your home town?

Yes. I lived here till I was 7.

Would you explain, sir?

Well, that's what it said on his documents.

So what if you were born here?

You have to live here to call it your home.

- Right?

- That's right!

And Chief.

Let's not mix business

with private matters.

Uh... Let's just stop here, alright?

I don't want Detective Choi to

feel awkward because of me.

If you don't want it, I'll

give up on Beach Town.

It's not my main business anyway.

I won't make much lotting out Beach Town.

I'll go to the governor tomorrow.

I'll cancel the deal, so

let's not talk about it.

Choon-mo? I heard you

install air conditioners.

That's right.

I need some for my factory. Could you?

Really? How many do you need?

My factory is not that big. Maybe 100?

100?

Is that too little?

No, it's absolutely fine.

I'll write up an estimate.

- Here's my card.

- Thank you.

May I have yours?

It's in the car. I'll give it to you later.

100? Wow!

Choon-mo! You barely sold 10 this year!

Your factory must be pretty big.

It's not that big, sir.

Still...

Do you need water purifiers by any chance?

Of course I do.

Good! See, Kang-gon over here sells them.

I run a small water purifier shop.

I actually saw a client today,

but guess that doesn't matter.

I'll call you tomorrow about it.

Thank you.

- May I have your card?

- Of course.

Dang! I wish I ran a business!

Mind if I went to the bathroom?

Go on.

- I'll bring my cards.

- Sure.

Choon-mo hit the jackpot!

What?

Why?

This is nuts! Blocking all the toilets!

What will you do with Koo's urine anyway?

If you suspect him, just report him!

I need evidence first.

It's a drug case.

Securing evidence is especially important.

We're a team, Deok-man.

Didn't you see Hee Soon's eyes?

She's all over Koo.

He's not her type.

Hee Soon loves the Seoul-type with money.

Don't you know?

Her ex-husband was like that.

Don't lose her this time.

I'll help you.

- Fine! Don't do it!

- Wait!

So you'll do it?

This means he's clean, right?

I know he's hiding something.

Deok-man.

We need to change our strategy.

Let's get some coffee.

Sure.

This is the best way to distribute meth.

A box of meth should be here somewhere.

I'll take this truck. You take that one.

Got it?

- Heading out now?

- Yes, sir.

- Drive safely.

- Thanks.

- Did you drink coffee?

- Yes, sir.

- Work hard.

- Yes.

Deok-man!

Stay focused!

Don't ever get caught.

I'm losing it...

SEOUL:

Are you nuts?

Where did you drink all night?

Where's Deok-man?

You fool!

What did you say to Mr. Koo?

The City Hall flipped because of you!

What are you yapping about?

We're not even open yet.

The governor begged Mr. Koo

not to cancel Beach Town.

Beach Town is a go?

This town needs Beach Town!

Ha?

That jerk! Man...

That bastard is good!

Fool!

If you do that again, you're dead!

Sir!

- Hello.

- What brings you here?

- Here...

- Oh, right.

- 600?

- Yes.

If you look here...

It's already a big hit in Japan.

A massager!

I hope you like it.

Well, then...

I learned everything I could

to be a good, single father.

KIJANG'S GOODWILL AMBASSADOR

Thumbs up!

No premium and no tax to buy.

We can save money by

running a business here.

No-one comes to this dreary place, ma'am!

Your business will be easier

if you move to Beach Town.

It's a great deal. Most

merchants are buying.

Think it over, sir.

We can't lose with Beach Town.

- I'll do my best.

- We trust you, Mr. Koo.

Thank you for helping me.

- Thank you!

- Please!

- Let's do this!

- Great.

Charles Talleyrand of France

said this about coffee.

Black as the devil.

Pure as an angel.

Hot as hell, but sweet as love.

Hee Soon? Do you like teddy bears?

Sorry?

It's latte art!

BEACH TOWN GRAND OPENING

Kijang, Now Going Global

So it's finally come to this.

I don't know what to say, Chief Choi.

Man!

Who knew people would suddenly all like it?

I wonder who helped change people's minds.

Probably the town ladies

who swooned over Mr. Koo.

Deok-man said he got some good meat today.

Let's finish this quick

and have a drink after.

Don't worry.

Alright everyone,

today we'll be voting for our

co-op President, as announced.

Any nominations?

What nomination?

Chief Choi should do it.

- Right!

- What?

No, stay still.

Who knows our town better than him?

And he helped us voluntarily

with all kinds of stuff.

- Right?

- Yes!

I nominate Choi Dae-ho to be the President.

- I agree!

- Me too!

Thank you. Chief Choi Dae-ho is nominated.

Anyone else?

Hold on!

- How about Mr. Koo?

- No.

He's the one who made Beach Town possible.

He's a businessman with great connections.

Please! No! I don't know much about Kijang.

I think Detective Choi

should be the President.

He's out. Chief Choi should be President.

Then Chief Choi will be our only nominee.

Come on!

I nominate Mr. Koo!

- What are you doing?

- Please!

By a democratic process,

we now have 2 candidates.

Now, let's hear the two

candidates' speeches.

What speech? We all know each other here.

We're all like family.

We can just vote for

whoever we have in mind.
